Where there’s smoke, there’s….

Interesting article at the Daily Caller on the subject of electronic cigarettes: What’s so ridiculous about Katherine Heigl’s e-cigarette habit?

E-cigarettes don’t burn anything, and the only “second hand” by-product is water vapor. I found more information here for those who are really interested.

Yet, the usual gang of minding-everyone-else’s-business “public health” harpies naturally want to treat electronic cigarettes in the same way that tobacco cigarettes are treated — that is, the users and producers tarred, feathered, drawn, quartered and burnt at the stake. (Waterboarding, however, is unacceptable.)

Hey, guess what? I’ve been a smoker for over 25 years. I tried everything to quit except hypnosis, all to no avail. Last month I switched to electronic cigarettes and haven’t yet looked back. These things are a godsend.

Please please please…

Please let this be referring to David Price.

Nah, it’ll never happen. I have the misfortune to share a congressional district with Durham and East Berkeley Chapel Hill. Price looks to be safe… but I’m still going to go out and vote against him, and for his challenger, B. J. Lawson.

Funny how that works… how the hugely conservative western part of Wake County happens to be drawn into a district which includes the most liberal areas of the state.

Fingers crossed, maybe we’ll get some proper redistricting around here in the near future.

Update: Dang… it refers to Lincoln Davis (D-TN).
